'Warm, wise, witty, and just plain fun' Maggie Shipstead

At a perfectly ordinary cocktail party, Francis is introduced to Billy and - although it slips right by him at the time - he falls in love with her at once.

Billy is a serious, often glum person. An economic historian, she is indifferent to a great many things (clothes, food, home décor), frowns easily and is frequently irritated.

Francis is older. He likes routine and a well-run household; he likes to pay for dinner, open car doors and call Billy at night to make sure she is safe.

Both are happily married - but not to each other.

So begins a whirlwind love affair, perfectly captured in this frank, funny irresistible novel, from its fabulous inception to its inevitable end.

Kritikerstimmen

Laurie Colwin is such a wise, witty and simply enchanting novelist
These should be read one at a time, perhaps just before bed as a respite from an especially trying day
Virtually flawless . . . A tour de force
Whether or not their love goes on is unimportant. The joy is in the intimacy, the utter weirdness and intensity of their connection
An infallible recipe for happiness: read as much Laurie Colwin as you can
If anyone wrote eloquently and magnificently about affairs of the heart, it was Laurie Colwin
